Program description
The Department of Economics offers graduate programs leading to the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees. The M. A. degree can be completed in one to two years, and course work for the Ph.D. degree can be completed in three years. The Ph.D. degree also requires passage of comprehensive examinations and the completion of a doctoral dissertation.
The graduate program in economics provides a strong foundation in macroeconomic theory, microeconomic theory, and econometrics. In addition, it offers course work by nationally recognized scholars in such fields as development economics, econometrics, international economics, industrial organization, labor economics, macroeconomics, and public finance. Advanced course work is also available in agricultural economics, computer science, mathematics, and statistics.
Financial assistance
There are two types of graduate teaching assistants: those who teach their own course and those who assist others by grading exams, proctoring, and carrying out other assignments. Graduate teaching assistantships provide a stipend, tuition waiver, and subsidized health insurance. In addition, the department offers supplemental awards: the Carroll B. Greene Scholarship, to the outstanding female graduate student, the M. Jarvin Emerson Memorial Scholarship to a top doctoral student, the John Nordin Memorial Scholarship for outstanding performance in economic theory, and the Thomas Graduate Student Teaching Award.
